This will be the area to discover inspirational content.

I personally find inspiration in multiple area’s: my wife, my kids, friends, art, charity, business situations, observations of daily living.

In general: it is the mix of it, not one specific area. Solutions, new thinking never has found it’s origin in one book, event or concept.
